This cartoon just happened to appear right next to this article in my feed. Couldn't be more relevant.

Mt Rushmore is absolutely ridiculous. Americans can use the phrase "cult of personality" to refer to other countries after they've chiseled off those ugly mugs and returned Six Grandfathers to something resembling its natural state.

Sonnenfeld hailed the decision by UnitedHealth’s board to bring back Hemsley, who led the company to success between 2006 and 2017.

“He does know where the bodies are buried, and he’s the perfect guy to go to,” he said.

That's an...interesting...way to describe this guy's aptitude to run the company infamous for denying healthcare.

The article mentions Mozilla removing the extension for "supporting hate" which really makes me want to download a different browser, but apparently it is back now - I just installed for Firefox on Android.

Edit: although installed, it doesn't seem to be working...will have to figure this out later.

In 2040, pursuing post-secondary education (PSE) is no longer considered a reliable path to social mobility.

In 2040, owning a home is not a realistic goal for many.

This sounds more like 2025 to me...

This showed up in my feed right below "Kim Jong-un attends opening of 10,000 new apartments in Hwasong district". I was just looking at it thinking "we could really use 10,000 new apartments in Toronto."

The irony is just so stark. North Korea is supposed to be the scariest place on earth, but it's right here at home that we have "housing so unaffordable you can just die instead."

He sure does take it to the extreme though...

That same year, she said she was forced to reschedule Zuckerberg’s address at the UN to a later time slot because, according to Wynn-Williams, “the United Nations isn’t important enough for Mark to do an event before noon.”

But beyond that, I suppose it goes against the mythology of billionaires being "hard working", which is obviously silly, but there are people who still believe that nonsense, and might be shocked.

Funny how hard it is to do a "victims of communism" monument without honoring nazis.

And the following sentence:

Before the January 29 collision, the last major fatal airplane accident involving a US carrier was in 2009,

So yeah, January 29th. The rest were February. Of course one single incident in January, and several more in February, isn't going to have a huge impact on the number of incidents in January. February is what we should be talking about.

I have to assume that the actual message being obfuscated here is "please keep buying plane tickets, you still probably won't die and even if you do it's just really important for our up-going line."

They are all either crypto-fascists or ignorant comrades

I think it's important to keep this bit in mind. As insufferable as they can be, they've been fed a steady diet of anticommunism since infancy, and may have the right values but the wrong information. Of course others are just crypto-fascists, and that sucks, but if you can find the ignorant comrades, and even just like, plant a seed of doubt in the western narrative, that's a win.

Many in Washington bristled at the public’s failure to register how strong the economy really was

"The economy is so good guys."

"Why can't I afford to eat?"

"Shut up I said the economy is good, OK?!"

They have most (or all?) of Europe yellow for the "risk of terrorism" thing, IIRC.

This should be a valuable resource for Canadians, but it's hard to take any of these advisories seriously at this point.
